Two And a Half Cheers For der Gropenführer

Maybe it's because he's a Republican in a largely Democratic state, but Ahnuld apparently gets it:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation Monday that will bar the use of electronic voting machines that don't produce paper trails to verify votes.

The requirement, which takes effect in 2006, is a response to concerns that the machines could be tampered with or produce incorrect results.

Someone finally understands: This isn't a liberal or conservative issue, this is a democracy vs. kleptocracy issue. Any Republican who remembers the glory days of the Daley administration should join progressives in this battle, because you never know which ox is the next to be gored.
